West Marine Press Releases

WATSONVILLE, Calif. (February 11, 2010) – West Marine, the world's largest retailer of boating supplies and accessories, will showcase the Racor Fuel Polishing System at the Miami International Boat Show.  The Racor Fuel Polishing System combats the daily accumulation of water in diesel fuel systems, preventing corrosion and other system problems. 

The daily build-up of condensation in a diesel fuel system can lead to fuel contamination through bacteria growth. The new Fuel Polishing System provides maximum fuel system reliability by removing entrained moisture and accumulated contaminants, and reduces the need for expensive fuel treatments and additives.  Using patent-pending, solid state pump technology, the Racor Fuel Polishing System is easy to install and operate; incorporates automatic, full-flow bypass valve and eliminates the need for manual switching.

Customers can visit West Marine’s booth at the Miami International Boat Show, center pod, lower level, or online via westmarine.com to learn more about Racor Fuel Polishers or any of West Marine’s 50,000 other product offerings.
